No problem. Anything for someone that sees Dick for what he really is.

I can't imagine anyone having much respect for Dick. But I'm sure there are a few that find his behavior endearing. Still reading.

i'm thinking it is more about tolerating him....as we all know someone 'like that'.

I know someone like that and after many years of chaotic drama, I chose to stop tolerating that person. I walked away and never looked back and my life became so much more peaceful without having such an angry, cruel and toxic person in my life.

Sometimes you just have to choose to cut ties rather than let a toxic personality continue to affect you.

Sanfranjoshfan, that may be exactly what Daniele chose to do for exactly that reason.

I don't know that I'd call ED toxic. He's very opinionated and outspoken, but I haven't seen or heard him demonize people quite the way Ivette, Maggie, Eric, and April did. Sure, he's gone off on people and said and done some nasty things, but I just don't see anything that was quite as evil as I saw from the "friendship." Everyone in the house likes ED, and everyone in the house doesn't like him. When ED isn't pissed at someone, he's probably a great guy to be around. It's his moodiness that gets him into trouble. I think maybe that's why I understand him as I tend to be moody too, but I don't take it out on people. I also don't see him disliking women or fearing women having power. I think he just has issues with phoniness, and Jen and Kail have that in spades. Just my

I find it hard to believe Dick has ever had a serious relationship with a woman that had any sort of mature and healthy personality. I'm curious as to what type of women Dani's mother is/was. I can't see any quality female finding Dick's personality loveable. He reminds me a a pre-teen boy who needs to be medicated.

I liked Dick in the beginning. Now, I find him repulsive. His ego wears me out. Smart guy but he goes to far in shock value.

Anyone who wants to know more about Dick's relationships with women should go read his full blog at http://www.myspace.com/eveldick

He briefly mentions his disastrous first marriage but talks at length about his second. He met her when he was 28 and was with her for 8 years. He's been single, he says by choice, for the 8 years since then. Although he obviously loved her, she was a serious alcoholic and they lived a really insane livestyle for the most part right out there on the edge. She never accepted his kids and I think that has something to do with Dani's issues.

Dick also writes about how he feels about ageing, which is pretty bad. He has nothing to show for his years on this planet except his kids who now mean everything to him. When he was younger, drinking, chasing women and doing all the drugs he could get his hands on, he clearly wasn't too concerned about them. And age has not brought him wisdom- his chief regret about getting old is that he has peaked in terms of who he can get to have sex with him- he has already been with the best looking woman he could ever hope to score!

I read the full blog a few days ago and I can't get it out of my head. It's actually very well written but gives some really disturbing insight into the mind of one very messed up guy.

No surprise that his longest relationship was with an alcoholic. That would have been my guess. Usually I have empathy for people with mental health issue (yes I feel Dick has mental health issues) but I can't muster up any feeling for Dick except as to how it relates to Dani. I feel sorry for her because she was saddled with Dick as a father. There is the lucky sperm club and then there is the unlucky sperm club to which Dani is is a member.

I know I have to check myself regularly as to my age because of the side business I have. The weekend I'm surround by people almost half my age. And sometimes it can be depressing LOL but I'm mature enough to realize if we are lucky we all age and have made the best of our youth or at least learned from our mistakes in our youth.

THANKS for that link!

ED better be careful....he was apparently talking about Julie Chen in the same way he was talking about Jen last night..not a good idea to get the head of the network (Julie's husband) ticked off at you..

Comparing Dick to previous houseguests doesn't work at all. We are discussing Dick, not Ivette, Maggie or Eric. His behavior in the house would be entirely unacceptable to me if I was a target of his rants. Saying Dick is blunt doesn't get him off the hook. I find it amazing that he has any supporters. Personally, I don't think he should have been picked to appear on BB 8. Too many emotional problems.

That could be said for most of them in the house :o)

I am not comparing Dick to other players. I am evaluating Dick.

It's bizarre to me how many people make excuses for the terrible things he says. I don't care if he's lived a hard life, or doesn't really mean he wants to blank Jen until she bleeds, or whatever.

It's not acceptable behavior by a human, yet so many here give him a pass and make excuses for it. It's bizarre to me.

So why does she sit there and take it????? I just wish someone could explain that to me. You can't be a victim unless you allow yourself to be victimized. Why do some give Jen a pass for this? GET UP AND LEAVE.....

She was sitting there when he said it?!! Are you kidding me?

So, it's okay for him to say it, but not for her to sit there?

I don't think that Jen was there when he said that Earthmother. He is too cowardly to say something that extreme to the person's face. Jen has been pretty good actually about standing up to Dick.

I actually don't care whether or not people in the house let Dick get away with his comments. He is still wrong and hateful in saying them. F her in the a until she bleeds? Come on!

and that's the kind of talk that will be his downfall if he gets into the finals, that's why no one is stopping him. Everyone in that game care more about their own posturing than they do about the feelings of others. This is the human experience. How much are your morals worth to you? Isn't that why we watch? There is enough venom going around for every fan to have a good time..

Maybe not, but he has said awful things to her face and she just sits there. I will not give these cry-babies a pass, they are in a game for a lot of money and they chose to play their game their way..even if you and I don't like it.
